WTF is wrong with the gop, that they even think it's sane to go for "retribution?" We have gone back to a grade-school mentality. VOTE BLUE everywhere.
You got that right! The GOP says, "We're taking our ball and going home."
It's who they always were, but now they are open about it
By drain the swamp they mean fill the swamp.
They believe they have a right to rule without our consent.
They don’t know how to do anything else. They don’t care about anything else.
Cut their salaries to 1 dollar and cut all funding to the Supreme court until they have a MANDATORY Ethics Code.
We can only hope. But hope is small for now
Exactly cuz apparently they don't remember they work for the American People
Vote a Super Blue Majority in Congress and the Senate, come November. This is B.S. The American People are getting screwed, with this Supreme Court. Democracy is in jeopardy
Best idea ever!❤
1 dollar is probably against the law. But the federal minimum wage for sure!!
The Sordid Supreme Court must be called to account for taking bribes and playing politics from the bench.
How many Republicans would get exposed for wrongdoing BY JUDGES BEING DUMPED?
@@sstarkey1695 Ga-millions?
Yes, the dumb one that doesn't know what a woman is got concert tickets from a petitioner
Vote for democracy
Vote for justice
🇺🇸RIDIN W BIDEN 🇺🇸
Alito is an INSURRECTIONIST.
Correct. Uncle Thom is too.
@@KernowekTim And both their wives are religious loony tunes too!
FD JT😢
Yup
6 theocrats cum monarchists on the court in the first openly secular nation on Earth, that was the most successful in disestablishing the rule and might of the British Empire. Now, just in time for the 250th, King Orange Jesus is at the gates.
Why can’t they be charged for tax fraud?
Two tier justice
@@jackielobin7100nope not on Joe's watch.
The prez can't do shit about it
Because the gift giver pays taxes on gifts, not the gift receiver. If there’s another provision of the tax law you could get them on please enlighten me.
@@Kerry-uo6og. Dumb statement.
There aren’t enough Democrats in office fighting for the forced recusal of justices Alito and Thomas!!! 💙💙
That's certainly what it feels like. However, if we can by some miracle hold on to the Senate and regain the House we might be able to make a concrete change.
Dems outnumbered by the brain dead. Vote blue. 💙
@@marshcreek4355would need a large enough margin in both houses of Congress to overcome the 2/3rds requirement for impeachment. Legislating the ch age would also be difficult w/o enough margin to overcome the Sinemas, Gabbards, & Manchins of the Democratic Party.
@@SailBale007 Absolutely.
Nope, that is why it is so imperative that Americans pay attention.
The only way to save the Court is to Impeach Justices!😮
Yup cuz if they are forced to shut down its because of those clowns
6 theocrats cum monarchists on the court in the first openly secular nation on Earth, that was the most successful in disestablishing the rule and might of the British Empire. Now, just in time for the 250th, King Orange Jesus is at the gates.
The 11th circut has already received 1,000 complaints against Judge Loose Cannon.
Impeachment of judges and justices is exceptional rare.
Contact your representative and senators in Washington DC.
you would need gop votes to remove SC judges through impeachment. ain't gonna happen.
It would be easier to expand the Court and dilute their power. In any instance to be able to do that we would need a majority in the Senate and the House. Get out and vote in November.
To dishonorable Samuel Alito:
📣RESIGN! RESIGN! RESIGN!📣
He doesn't care! Look at what he does. Flags upside done--- wtf!?! How disrespectful to every soldier lost in his lifetime while protecting this country. Very sad. But the reality is he doesn't care
Mitch! I blame Mitch above all. SCOTUS does not represent us.
Mitch is just a symptom of the Democrats ineptitude!
Sure they represent us. Judicial Oath: “I, _________, do solemnly swear or affirm that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _________, according to the best of my abilities and understanding, agreeably to the constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”
We pay their salaries, but we don't pay aa much as parties to cases/or third parties controlling ruling impacts. We pay so the corrupt may have them available. Our Congress put them there!!!!
@@sstarkey1695 Actually Congress put them there at the direction of their Nazi sugar daddies in the Federalist Society. And the money always gets what it wants.
Hell is not very far away for him now.
Moscow Mitch used MF45 to stack the SCOTUS
Make America Blue Again.
@ZachariahLoneStarLiveral, Yes vote blue but I would add straight down the ballot. Plus, do some research on judges that are running and school board seats, everything.
Keep America Democratic !
no, red is just fine
@@allanrainbolt3975 ; No Autocracy's run by a "one-day" dictator is not fine. You should go to Putin, he is desperate for tools just like you!
@@allanrainbolt3975red is fine if you love corruption and hate the Rule or Law.
Get Biden to appoint atleast 3 new justices.... now!!!!!
Four. SCOTUS needs to be an odd number.
no appoint 4 to cooncide with the 13 judicial districts
Actually about forty seven of the most liberal thirty something available.
Just like trump did. Boy those Republicans sure got stuff done that would clearly benefit them and their owners.
Biden has said he’s NOT expanding the courts. Either vote for progressive candidates (Biden2024) or GOP destroys democracy
Thomas and Alito must go. Can they be impeached??
Yes. Filibuster would stop it being heard. We need to get rid of the filibuster.
Yes,but with a dysfunctional congress, that is not happening.
Need a majority in the house otherwise it will be blocked
They can however, the criteria for impeachment is identical for that of a president.
Alito and Thomas should both resign or be impeached to stop the damage of the Supreme Court respectability, trust and legitimacy. Please use your voice, call your Congressional representatives. Then call Senator Durbin's Office.
Call Sen. Schumer and Whitehouse. One of these Internet channels put up a petition for the people to complain to press the Senate to begin the process of pressure to resign and charges for tax fraud!
Moscow Mitch is singularly the most responsible for deconstructing democracies judicial ideology and reforming it in the image of theocracy.
Succinctly nailed the cause and the reason. Fuck.
14th amendment section three. The fact that this court did not rule to disqualify trump still burns. What is the point of this court staying in tact even one more day? 14th amendment, section 3, could not have been more clear. All justices should be impeached.
Yep. We need a new loaded bench to repair and revise the damages.
Hard to argue against what you just stated. 🤔
Where are the rallies, where are the pickets, where are the demonstrations? Don't Americans actually give a damn about their democracy while they sit in front of their computers typing 'vote blue' as if trump ever respected a vote and as if the supreme court is going to respect the will of the people! DO SOMETHING.
And yet, here you are, sitting in front of your computer typing 'why isn't anyone doing anything' (except you, right?)
I have written this same type of comment in reaction to similar videos. I think taking to the streets everywhere with peaceful protests would be very effective. The politicians need to know that the American people do care about this issue. My opinion...I think Trump and the GOP's "flood the zone" with BS has worked on us....we are all numb from all their garbage all of the time. We are exhausted and traumatized from eight years of this. But, excuses no matter how true will not save us .
I have been saying all of this for months. The French do it well, they don't mess around, neither do the British if they get mad enough.
Nothing can be done. The USA is a blatant joke on planet 🌏.
Yes, I haven't heard anything from groups I've done marches with before. I guess it's time to get off my 73 year old butt and make closer contact with them again. Wish I wasn't on the Left Coast... I'd love to protest in front of the Supreme Court "Edifice of Artifice and Avarice."
Clean house!
With extreme prejudice.
"Blue" or "Red" I will leave aside. But OMG this Supreme Court is an embarrassment to the nation and to themselves. Unfortunately they don't care, but the nation and the House and Senate should. As for the Chief Justice, anyone with a moral compass knows what he should do, but wont.
They're proving themselves to be political hacks. 😢
You are clearly right, and for those justices that are above the political fray, they should be forthright and speak out boldly on the subject because they are being tarred with the same brush. The time is now. No more sheepish silence.
Biden is wrong not to pack this court. It’s not complicated. Add at least three and then work on impeaching the MAGA.
Unfortunately he can’t because he can nominate someone to be on the bench but the senate has the final decision with their votes. The senate is currently overloaded with republicans. They wouldn’t allow it to happen. This is why we must vote for democrats in the house and senate to get control back so that these things can happen.
The GOP have already packed it. The court needs to be unpacked.
@@mlt177 If Senate does not act, he CAN simply appoint, once he determines that he asked for their advice and consent, and they simply did not.
Expand the court with 4 more years of President Biden.
And VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE ENTIRE BALLOT! 💙💙🇺🇸💙💙🇺🇸💙💙🇺🇸💙💙
Him and Thomas need to retire or impeach them, either way they need to. Go. Robert’s too. Lindsey hopefully will be voted out. I hope all of MAGA is voted out.
The Supreme Court is corrupt, the right.
Shame on John Robert’s for not keeping the court above board. Perhaps we need to impeach 3 justices, not 2?
So if the person being bribed cant be prosecuted, why not charge the people doing the bribing?
Yahtzee
That’s a very good question and idea. The Nazi businessman, the Project 2025 crew, etc. Bribery in the US is called lobbying. And it’s corrupting our govt big time.
Alito and Thomas inspire nothing but contempt for the institution they continue to corrupt.
It's bananas that implementing Ethics Standards are even being contested, especially for the highest court, in relation to their role.
Separation of powers is to protect the people from conflicting demands, not to protect one branch from another.
WOW! I guess you don't understand the separation of Powers clause in the Constitution?
They are corrupt.
Article III, Section I states that "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." Although the Constitution establishes the Supreme Court, it permits Congress to decide how to organize it

WOW! I guess you don't understand the separation of Powers clause in the Constitution?
Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without expressly saying it out loud !!!
Try thinking about checks and balances
@@stephenbevan2320 Congress may from Time to Time, Well I guess it is time for congress to step in to control open corruption.
The issue is political parties appointing judges.
it wasnt alwats this way
AND BUYING THEM!!!!!!!
For lifetime appointments as well.
Thomas should be under investigation for financial crimes by both the IRS and the DOJ
Yeah, Sammy the Bull$hit has to go, as well as Clarence the Cowardly Justice.
And quite possibly, Roberts!
VOTE people and make sure everyone you know does as well. This is the last chance we have to save our country from the REPubLICANTS.
not the republicans specifically but the maga crowd
Shame on these SC Justices!
Time to pack the Supreme Court. Roosevelt used that SUCCESSFULLY.
Maybe it's time for National Protest demanding for the Recusal of Thomas and Alito!
Yes, where is the public outrage, the protests?
There's time for a march on Washington/SCOTUS before the election...
Pass the bill and let the Supreme Court overturn it. Sitting on our hands and letting them be corrupt because of a potential future Constitutional crisis is a just having the crisis now. If the court has the chutzpah to overturn it and declare themselves above the rest of the government and outside the law, then the country will have to deal with that, but better to have them forced to reveal their position than letting time pass while we dither and fret.
Defund the Supreme Court.
Harry, you hit the nail on the head - it’s a cluster f*ck situation!
I can't believe that he used that word! ("legally speaking" of course!).
You fought to be independent from the UK because you didn’t want to have a king. Now you have 9 kings and queens. 😂
It is a shame that our government and judicial system has become a dumpster fire. All of them should be replaced and as a nation we should start over.
Isn’t it clear by now that MAGA is not particularly concerned with ethics?
Save America Democracy and the Constitutinal and rebuild the trust on Supreme Court , Alito and Thomas MUST go.
They could use the Exceptions clause to remove the bill from SCOTUS's appellate jurisdiction.
That's an excellent idea!💙💙💙💙
💥💥💥
Impeach them. Or expand the court with judges that can stand up to the crooked judges.
Thank you Harry!
It's time for a Constitutional Convention.
Go Harry!!! Rock out!!!
I contacted Durbin's office about this: please contact your Senators and put on the pressure.
Thank you Harry . Your content is always spot on.
What a mess! No remedy for any branch that runs amok.
Thank you for "the legal term" in describing this nonsense - at least getting everyone actually voting regarding the ethics CF the Republicans can't hide
If the highest court in the land is corrupt then there is no hope for anything just and right. We as a nation need to clean house.
Alito should step down from the Supreme Court, if he can't work for the American he doesn't belong in there.
CHANGE THE LIFETIME TENURE OF THOSE IN THE SUPREME COURT, FFS! PROBLEM SOLVED!
Somebody should ask Roberts what accountability/checks looks like regarding SCOTUS.
Agree Alito has to go charge him with lying to Congress
The basic question that is not being asked is this:
Why is it SO hard for our so called, "representatives", to do the right, correct, proper, just, moral, ethical things"? Why is it so hard for them to do right?
And, of course, the answer to this most basic of questions is this:
Corruption and criminality runs strong and deep within the blood and body of our political and justice systems.
: (
Only the more skilled AND aggressive wrestler pins his competitor! Dems need to be nice, but with a coupe of dashes of hot sauce!
I think both Alito and Thomas need to be removed. The Supreme Court seems to have ultimate power; being able to override any of the other 2 branches.
Thanks Harry. Mind boggling. Sen. L. Graham has also said he will oppose this ethics bill so that it won’t get out of the judiciary committee.
Scotus works for DONORS! NOT WE THE PEOPLE!
VOTE BLUE TO CHANGE THIS FACT
You really think the Democrats are working in YOUR interests? Wow.
gop has no shame whatsoever and will torpedo any bill that might make them accountable
They’ve already gone rogue and don’t care that it’s visible
Thanks Harry. 💙🌊⚖️
Roberts might be the guy to deal with the Court's depravity, if he were still running the Court.
The Supreme Court has ethics and an a entrepreneurial spirt that should be rewarded.
How sublime-a CF from Harry! The state of our democracy has expanded your lexicon in a discourteous (but fitting) fashion. Thank you for laying out the current legal conundrum(s).
Impeach Thomas NOW
What will the SCOTUS do when a potus sends a SEAL TEAM after one or more members of the SCOTUS?
The 11th circut has already received 1,000 complaints against Judge Loose Cannon.
Impeachment of judges and justices is exceptional rare.
Contact your representative and senators in Washington DC.
impeach traitors
Alito: Ethics? We don't need no stupid ethics!
Yay? More rules and laws for SCOTUS to ignore.
💯Thank you for sharing this important information. 🇺🇸
Ethics code and term limits. Are what's needed
Murky = let’s allow corruption
Thanks Harry!
Judgement is coming upon these judges for all this courrption unjust making people suffer
❤love you Harry and your intelligence and explanation of all of the craziness 😊 you are appreciated 😊
There should be a public senate lead investigation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Investigations will encourage the election of more Democrats so we can expand the Court.
Won’t happen while the Republicans think they are top dogs
scotus' primary existence was to interpret the constitution and judge accordingly.. their duty was never to be the strongest of the 3 branches, but indeed, the weakest. at this point they're basically making executive orders.
many of us remember what happened to Iran in the 70's. it happened almost overnight.
NO JUSTICE NO RULE OF LAW NO AMERICA
We need to set up a judicial review board that decides whether a fellow justice at all levels of the federal courts is out of order or corrupt.
We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing the Supreme court has at least learned that from the police stations across the country.
Alito & thomas should both resign or be removed
immediately.
Looking forward to your take on the Republican attack on Merrick Garland.
"Hell NO...
ALITO AND CLARENCE MUST GO!!!" 💙 💙 💙 💙
Time to retire Alito and Thomas.
Both Alito and Thomas should be investigated and if warranted, indicted for tax evasion; they failed to report the lavish gifts they got on their tax returns!
Tax laws are important to know... The donor (giver) pays tax on the gift, not the recipient.
If you disagree with that, contact your congressional representatives. They make the laws.
Alito and Clarence Thomas should be impeached immediately. PERIOD 💯
Tradition? Ethics have been a tradition. Until now
Let them strike it down and hope for senate leadership and appoint more justices.
FORMER President Trump!
Convicted Former President Trump
Justice Matters
I am not sure what is worse, a judge taking a bribe and “gifts” or the person doing the bribing????
The people giving the gifts should now be investigated to see what benefits they have gained from SC rulings……
S or get off the pot, Durbin!!! A lot of older Dems are living in the past. It's horrifying!!!
No it's Republicans
Every justice that pledged to protect Roe v Wade during their confirmation hearing in Congress and voted against Roe needs to be charged for perjury and removed from the bench.
Nobody made any such promise
Has there been any consideration of impeaching Alito and Thomas?
All of government needs enforceable ethics reform and term limits. The Supreme Corrupt is a good place to start.
Congress needs term limits first. Look at all the grifting dinosaurs in their, doing their insider trading and profiting handsomely. Feinstein, being told how to vote by other people, cause she wasn’t capable of even knowing what was going on. Truly horrible. Ethics, yeah, right.
File bar complaints
I did on Judge Cannon.
Why cant Biden exercise executive rule over this. He has that power to do that.
I never imagined we would ever see this happen.
Fill the courts Joe justice for ALL
